From A to Z, the Penguin Drop Caps series collects 26 unique
hardcovers--featuring cover art by Jessica Hische It all begins
with a letter. Fall in love with Penguin Drop Caps, a new series of
twenty-six collectible and hardcover editions, each with a type
cover showcasing a gorgeously illustrated letter of the alphabet.
In a design collaboration between Jessica Hische and Penguin Art
Director Paul Buckley, the series features unique cover art by
Hische, a superstar in the world of type design and illustration,
whose work has appeared everywhere from Tiffany & Co. to Wes
Anderson's recent film Moonrise Kingdom to Penguin's own
bestsellers Committed and Rules of Civility. With exclusive designs
that have never before appeared on Hische's hugely popular Daily
Drop Cap blog, the Penguin Drop Caps series debuted with an 'A' for
Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, a 'B' for Charlotte Bronte's
Jane Eyre, and a 'C' for Willa Cather's My Antonia. It continues
with more perennial classics, perfect to give as elegant gifts or
to showcase on your own shelves. M is for Melville, who wrote of
his masterpiece, "It is the horrible texture of a fabric that
should be woven of ships' cables and hawsers. A Polar wind blows
through it, and birds of prey hover over it." In part, Moby-Dick is
the story of an eerily compelling madman pursuing an unholy war
against a creature as vast and dangerous and unknowable as the sea
itself. But more than just a novel of adventure, more than an
encyclopedia of whaling lore and legend, Moby-Dick is a haunting,
mesmerizing, and important social commentary populated with several
of the most unforgettable and enduring characters in literature.
Written with wonderfully redemptive humor, Moby-Dick is a profound
and timeless inquiry into character, faith, and the nature of
perception.
